Hunter GatherersPam and Richard are hosting their best friends, Wendy and Tom, for an annual dinner get-together. An animal sacrifice kicks off the evening, followed by a little more sex, violence, deception, wrestling, and dancing than at previous parties. A darkly comic evening where the line between civilized and primal man is blurred, and where not everyone will survive long enough to enjoy the brownies for dessert.

Previews March 3-6, opens March 7th, and runs Tuesday-Saturday 8pm only through Saturday March 28th.

Location: the Duo Theatre Multicultural Arts Center,62 East 4th Street, New York, NY 10003. Second Floor. This venue is not wheelchair accessible.

Hunter Gatherers is the winner of the 2007 ATCA/Steinberg New Play Award and the 2006 Will Glickman Award.

OTHELLOs themes highlight a strong need for empathy with respect to all races, genders, economic classes and religious beliefs.”

This production of OTHELLO is visceral, immediate, and spoken in a way that anyone can understand.

WHO IS THE SEEING PLACE?Now in its 6th Season, The Seeing Place is an actor-driven company: built by actors and managed by actors to be a base for actors who want to grow & hone their craft in a creative and supportive artistic home. We are
